Flowmaster Group has developed an interface between FLUENT and FLOWMASTER®, a leading 1D fluid flow simulation code. FLUENT users will be able to perform co-simulation analysis with the two codes, gaining the benefit of low memory use and high speed 1D simulation coupled to detailed 3D analysis from FLUENT.
Typical applications include automotive thermal modeling, in which a 1D FLOWMASTER simulation can be used to accurately determine flow rates, pressures and temperatures for the external circuit including components such as the water pump, hoses, radiator, and thermostat. This simulation might be coupled to a highly detailed 3D FLUENT simulation of the flow distribution in the engine cylinder block and heads. The initial release of FLUENTLink will be available for FLUENT on HP workstations under HP/UX and FLOWMASTER on PCs running Windows ® across a network. Later releases, due before the end of the Q2, will add further platform support for FLUENT. more.info@ |
